The regular monthly meeting of the W.M.S. of, Westminster Church â€" was held in the Church Ladies‘ Parlors April 2ist. After the usual devotional service a very pleasing address was given by Miss Fletcher, the Viceâ€" President of this Presbytery section. She spoke of the great work and wide influence. of the W.M.S. not only in our own country, but reaching to foreign fields. / She also explained to each secretary what her duties conâ€" sisted of, answering any question askâ€" ed regarding them. After the meetâ€" ing 2 dainty lunch was served. MILLION DOLLAR In the very near future there will be established within the limits â€"of Toâ€" ronto one of Canada‘s fastest growing tire and rubber goods concerns. Talkâ€" Ing the other day with Mr. G. Murray, the sales manager of the K. & S. Tire and Rubber Goods Limited, the writer was surprised to learn of the large measure ofâ€"success that had been theirs. They maintain that the fixed principal of a square deal and a desire on the part of Canadians to buy Madeâ€" inâ€"Canada goods has helped them more than could be esstimated. Mr. Murray has unfortunately suffered a recent severe illness, but now that he is back on the job he is more ambitâ€" ious than ever since he finds that on tire sales dlone, a double increase is recorded, 40 per cent. of the purchasâ€" ers being old customers. The present factory space at We#ton is totally ihâ€" adequate to cope with the increasâ€" ing demands, but fortunately the new K. & S. property on Paton Road, Toâ€" ronto, is rapidly nearing completion. It is a matter of interest to learn that the new plant with buildings, machâ€" inery, etc., will cost close on to one million dollars, and will have‘ an outâ€" put for five hundred tires and one thousand tubes and three thousand water bottles per day. Mr. Jos. O‘Mara managing director, is now on a busiâ€" hess trip to England, where a branch offici has recently been established, and it is hoped that on his return next month active work will have comâ€" menced in the manufacturing of tires and rubber goods at their big factory in Toronto. No expense has been spared, it is said, to make for success in their new quarters, where the facâ€" tory operations will be under the comâ€" plete charge of Mr. S. Hannonvill and the superintendency of the tire and tube department, under the expert guidance of Frank A. Ricaby, late superintendent of one of the most sucâ€" cessful tire and rubber plants in the United States. Believe me, very truly yours, $ Ethel J. Lyons, Treas of fund. _The following regolution was passed by the Branch on Tuesday night: "Be it resolved that we, the Officers of the Weston Branch, G. W.V.A., tender our sincere and.hearty thanks to the Officers and members of the combined Executives of the Town Improvement Society and the Women‘s Institute for their manifested interest at all times in evidence but particularly during the war and aâ€"sequel the presentation of a cheque for One Hundred and Fifty six Dollars and Twentyâ€"four cents ($156.24), which comprizes the balâ€" ance of the fund used for our welfare whilst overseas. \Wishing your organization every success, Moved by Comrade C. F. Wacey seconded by Comrade F. SainsBury. The Committee beg that you will publish a statement to this effect in the Weston Times & Guide, so that the many interested contributors to the fund may know its disposition. The committée has for some time been observing the work of the G.W. V.A. and has come to the conclusion that the organization would honestly and judiciously administer the sum for the help or assistance of returned solâ€" diers, the purpose for which it was raised. _A meeting was held at the home of the Convenor, Mrs, John Lindsay, and a resolution to that efâ€" fect was uanimously carried. Thereâ€" fore, Sir, I have very great pleasure in sending the cheque on to your Branch. G.W.V.A. CONCERT AT WESTON Once again the excitement is over. We congratulate Mr. Coe and Mr. Matheson on their suceess.. On Thursâ€" day night, despite the heavy rain, the town hall was well filled to hear the concert given under the auspices of the local War Veterans. ~ Mayor J. Gardhouse occupied the chair and gave a very interesting speech on beâ€" half of the boys. He also announcâ€" ed that the Associated Ladies‘ Socieâ€" ties of Weston had presented the loâ€" cal branch of the Great War Veterâ€" ans‘ Acsaciation with a cheque to the value of §156.°1. The audience was kept well entestaired with a firstâ€" class program The brass quartette, headed by Comrade °C. Trinkwin, proved a great success and they were repeatediy recalled. Sergt.â€"Major Carpenter and Mr. Slack proved themâ€" selves great entertainers, and the Weston audience appreciated their noâ€" vel‘_num‘bers. The Masters Sainsbury, the well known boy musicians, deâ€" lighted both old and young. During the interval the draw for the beautiâ€" ful prizes was made, with the result that Mr. Coe of Main St., Weston, won the Columbia gramaphone, valâ€" ued at $450 and Mr. Gordon Matheâ€" son was successful in winning the biâ€" cycle. The fortunate gentlemen, deâ€" lighted at their success, presented litâ€" tle Miss Harrington, the drawer of the first prize ticket, and Master Sainsâ€" bury, the drawer of the second lucky ticket, with each a large box of chocoâ€" lates. The officers and members of the local G.W.V.A. wish to take this opportunity of thanking all those who assisted them in their efforts to raise funds for the proposed club house. Interviewed after his â€" success, Mr. Coe said that, although he had often tried to win a prize, this was his first win in this kind of a contest. Mr. Coe, who is a Veteran, but not a member of the G.W.V.A., took a chancewith the above result. The town council have granted the use of the fair grounds to this branch for July i1st. To Lieut. J. P. Allan Seciâ€"Treas, G. W.V.A., Weston, Ont. Dear Sir: K. & S. PLANT READY Wweston, April 13th \__ This motion brought forth considerâ€" Jable discussion. . The Mayor wanted | the matter held over until the city and | the railways had decided what they | were going toâ€"do, then let the opinion of the people of Weston be secured. On account of the number of persons in Weston who would be effected by the city changing its time, it‘ was [thought that the council â€"should be ; ready to follow the City of Toronto‘s | lead in the matter. It was decided }that the motion would be put before | the Council and the yeas and nays were called for. It resulted in Counâ€" cillors Sainsbury, â€" Monckman, Bell, | Harris and Wright voting for the moâ€" i tion, while the Reeve, J. M. Gardâ€" r house, Reeve Macklin and Mayor Jno. \ Gardhouse voted against the motion. | Mr. J. Allan, Secretary of the G. W. V. A. Weston Branch, asked that the CGouncil make a grant towards the | erection of a memorial hall in memory | of the boys. It is proposed that a j hall be erected on Elesmere Avenue on \ a lot 60 x 60 now secured by the local branch. The need for this hall was shown to be great by the speaker. Atâ€" tention to the fact that the $500 granted to the committee who were to prepare the souvenir number, had not spent very much of the grant. A meâ€" morial in the shape of the proposed 1 hall would be much more in keeping with the thoughts of the community \ and would be a benefit. is, wou will change, your clocks by moving them on one hour. In observâ€" ing ‘this time it means much to the citizens of the town and those emâ€" ployed in business. ‘It is, however, generally recognized as a hardship for those on the farm. It is not yet known just what the railways are doing in «the matter. ‘There is no doubt but that this should become a government measure for either one thing or the other.. The effort of trying to operate on different time is very hard and causes a lot of confusion. Let Wesâ€" ton, however, conform to the larger section and do all that is possible to unify the differences. right to come to the council for the money.. Rev. Hughes Jones spoke upon the question and stated that the matter would be taken up at tas next board meeting, but until then the board could not be officially quoted as doing anything. Reeve â€"Gardhouse, while in favor of the work amongs the boys, led the opposition to the grant. He was willing to give privately, but did not think that the ratepayers‘ money should be spent in this way. Geo. SAinsbury was also strong against the grant until. the: council should know just what, would be_dons wih the money. Councillor Harris, if he followed â€"his own â€" inclination, would vote for the grant, bet as a represntaâ€" tive of the people, and as they had made representation against the votâ€" ing of this money, he could not supâ€" port the movement, Reeve Maklin was willing to trust the committee with the money.. He felt that the need for work along this line was pressing, and that the council should grant the money. Councillors Wright, Moneckâ€" man and Bell strongly supported the measiire. DAYLIGHT SAVING FOR WESTON A party of gypsies in a Chevrolet car paid an official visit to Weston Monday afternoon, calling on many of the business places. In one of the south end stores they succeeded in reâ€" moving money from the till, but the lady in charge made them give up their illâ€"gotten silver. Travelling up street they went into a north end butâ€" cherâ€"shop. Here they persuaded the man to have his hand read, with the old system of crossing hands with a roll of bills, and to his dismay $30 departed with the gypsies. Upon disâ€" covering his loss he telephoned Conâ€" stable Campbell, who immediately got busy in rounding up the party. He found they had left town taking the road for Woodbridge. Word was sent abhead to Arrest them, but apparently they changed their minds and branchâ€" ed off to another road, as later they were heard of in Etobicoke. On Tuesâ€" day they were still at liberty, but the Constables in the different sections have been notified to be on the lookâ€" out. ing. The breeds on exhibition â€"this month will be White Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds and Anconas. Prize ribâ€" bont will be awarded in each class and it is hoped all interested will have birds in the competition so as to make the event one of interest and success. The monthly meeting of the Weston Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Assocâ€" iation will be held on Wednesday, May 5th, in the Fair Ground Buildâ€" After all matters had been discussed tnere was still some confusion as to the working out of the details, and a motion was put. by Councilior Sainsâ€" bury asking that the question of the grant be laid over till a meeting of all the councillors. This motion was lost on â€"division. Reeve,â€" Macklin, Councillors Wright, Bell and Monckâ€" man voted against, while the Reeve, J. Gardhouse, and Councillors Sainsâ€" bury and Harris voted in favor. Theo. Van Alystne. of the Wireless Marconi. Service, was successfnl in passing. his recent‘fiovernme:'zt examâ€" inations necessary for a wireless 0pâ€" erator anda left on Tuesday last for Midlanga to report for duty on a Caâ€" nadian steamship freighter. It was decided at the meeting that the Mayor should issue a proclamaâ€" tion calling upon the citizens to obâ€" serve the daylight saving time if the city of Toronto adopted the measure. Reports from the city are to the effect that the Cit\y Council have adopted the new time. ‘This means that our Mayor will issue a proclamation askâ€" ing for the coâ€"operation of our citiâ€" zens. . As last year, services and busiâ€" ness will operate after Sunday mornâ€" ing on the new time schedule. That On motion of Councillor. Wright, seconded by Councillor Bell, that the council grant the committee the sum of $500 for this work among the boys, the Reeve called for the yeas and nays. The motion way lost on a tie vote, the Mayor casting his vote with the Reeve against the motion. On motion it was decided to let this matter stand over until the county council meets in June and decides what they are going to do. It was also decided that the clerk ask the members of the Souvenir Committee to appear at the next Council meeting on the 10th of May. Councillor Harris‘ name was added to the committee that was to meet the Horticultural _Society regarding the planting of trees. There was then presented by Counâ€" cillor Sainsbury, seconded by Councilâ€" lor Wright, a motion that in the event of the City of Toronto adopting the daylight saving plan, that the Mayor be instructed to issue a proclamation agking, the citizens of Weston to adopt the same time.
